was elected Member-at-Large of the Engineering Section Steering Committee
effective
(b)
The new Engineering Section AAAS Fellows elected in September 2001 are listed
in Appendix D.
5. Review of Fellow nomination process. There are three ways a candidate can be nominated: (1) The Steering Committee members prepare nominations and vote on forwarding a number of the candidates not to exceed the quota for the Section. The quota is based on the number of AAAS members in the Engineering Section. In the past the steering committee decided to limit the number of nominations from each of the 8 members to two. In the event that some submit more than two and if the total number of nominations from the 8 members exceeds the quota, the Secretary requests the member with the most number of nominations to rank order the list and voluntarily delay the nomination of the candidate lowest in rank. This process was continued with other members until the total just equals the quota. This procedure will be followed again this year. (2) The second method of nominating a candidate for Fellow is for three Fellows to endorse the nomination. (3) The third method of nomination is for the AAAS Executive Director to forward a nomination. Only method (1) is subject to the quota. In all three of the methods, the candidates are evaluated by the Section Steering Group, and the candidates must receive a majority vote from the steering group. Furthermore, if a candidate receives more than two negative votes, the candidate is not recommended for election to Fellow.
6. The list of 2002 Symposia sponsored or cosponsored by the Engineering Section is included as Appendix E. Also listed are other symposia of interest to engineers.
7. Discussion of Ideas for Proposed Participation in
the 2003 and 2004 Annual Meeting
